because magma are molten materials which exist below the solid rock of the earth's crust .we sedimentary rocks are formed by the result of deposition or accumulation and lithification of sediments of some weathered particles and other different materials therefore magma not often made because they don't contain fossils

Is granite metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)
How is the igneous rock changed to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock goes deep in the Earth and reaches magma. It then melts and becomes part of the magma. Since the newly formed magma is less dense than the surrounding rock it is lighter than the surrounding rock and it goes up and cools. It then becomes an Igneous rock.
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
How igneous rock changes to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock to change to Igneous rock by applying heat and pressure , which creates Metamorphic rock . Next , Metamorphic rock turns to Magma because it melts . Lastly you have to let the Magma cool and it becomes an Igneous rock . That is how Sedimentary rock changes to Igneous rock .
What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can be made from sediments cemented together, or formed in the shape of remains of living things. Igneous rock is made from cooled magma, inside or outside the crust.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?
no it can't
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
Where is igneous rock in magma intrusion into sedimentary rock?
In dikes and sills.
How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?
it melts into magma then it cools
How are igneous rock and sedimentary rocks similar?
They are all made of minerals. They are solid. They are part of the rock cycle.
Is a sedimentary rock formed below earth's surface as magma?
No. A rock formed below earth's surface as magma is an igneous rock.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
